    My wife takes a ton of pictures and keeps filling her phone up. I bought this to clear the pics off her phone on occasion. So far seems to work as expected with seemingly quick transfer speeds. Hopefully she wont fill it too quickly.

    Exactly as advertised. Easy to set up, great speeds (consistently >120 MB/sec), no noise. Longevity to be determined, otherwise great.

    I've mainly used this to make a backup of my main hard drive just in case of a crash which is not a fun thing to have to deal with once it happens. I learned that the hard way many years ago.

    I paid less for this external drive than for an equivalent internal drive. So far doing a great job! I use it for external game storage on console.

    The drive works great. I'm happy with the speed. I don't know that the drive is all that sturdy. I had to bring one back that stopped working within a couple of days. I've had luck with another MyBook, so I kept the other one. So far, so good.

    Purchased a little over a month ago and happy so far. The real test is longevity, but for the moment I'm pleased with write speeds and access time.

    I have no issues despite the salesperson opinion against usage with Mac OS. Plug and use fine for P.C. or Mac requires formatting Drive

    This runs very smooth and comes formatted to NTFS. So if using with other operating systems than windows, you will need to format before using.
